Allium amplectens 'Graceful Beauty'
ornamental onion or allium bulbs
A compact allium for pots and front of border positions, producing pretty clusters of white flowers, which have the palest pink flush and distinctive lavender stamens. ‘Graceful Beauty’ is easy-to-grow and at their best when planted in large drifts, popping up between fresh green foliage of late spring and early summer perennials.
How to care for Allium amplectens Graceful Beauty:
Allium bulbs are easy to grow in a sunny spot with freely drained soil, or a good quality potting compost. Ideally they should be planted in September or October, but could also be planted in early November in milder regions. Dig holes roughly three times as deep as the diameter of the bulb and place them at the base, pointy side up before gently infilling and watering to settle them in. In early spring, as growth begins, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser, and allow the plants to die back naturally and completely before tidying away.
